I was so mad when they passed that amendment in my state. They used crumby wording to get people to vote for it. I’m still disappointed that this wording got approved to go on the ballot:

A “yes” vote supported amending the state constitution to:

provide that only U.S. citizens 18 years or older can vote, thereby prohibiting the state or local governments from allowing non-citizen voting; establish that each voter has one vote per issue or open seat; prohibit ranked-choice voting; and require plurality primary elections, where one winner advances to the general election.

A “no” vote opposed this amendment, thereby maintaining that “all citizens of the United States” who are 18 years of age or older may vote in elections and that ranked-choice voting may be enacted at the local or state level via ordinance or state statute.

TLDR: They said the amendment required proof of citizenship to vote, but that was already federally required. They then tacked on RCV to get it banned by amendment. >:(

I feel like more punctuation was called for here. /s

Welp, that’s enough Internet for today

IIRC, this is one of the reasons that Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0, so that the drive can be encrypted using the TPM as the key.

“Lets invent a thing inventor!” said the thing inventor inventor after being invented by a thing inventor.

A lot of people discover Linux and open source software at the same time, so it’s in the same ballpark.

I wonder if Honey’s new ad blocker Pie does things like this too.

Yes! The Amandas were the best.

This is not the way.

Calculate how much time is lost by the delays and crashes caused by old hardware. If you can break down how expensive not upgrading is, it might be easier to sell the upgrade. You could also break down the upgrade into waves, replacing only a third (or maybe a fourth) of the machines each year, starting with the oldest, and with the users who rely on them most. Another benefit to the wave approach is that you’ll reduce the likelihood of having to do another big upgrade every 3-4 years.

Blocking ads is one thing, replacing those ads with your own… Not cool.

I linked to the relevant bit. The whole sketch is topical.

Utopia means “no place” so all utopias, by definition are imaginary.,
